Tailored to an athlete's foot

The principle of taping an athlete’s foot at trouble spots has been translated into the skeleton design of an all-new upper. Multiple tapes hold the foot with minimal weight.

Also the new Cloudracer Speedboard unleashes the natural energy of your feet to promote maximum performance.

An Ironman World Champion

The Swiss Cloudracer is the winning running shoe of the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. In 2013 the Belgian top athlete, Frederik Van Lierde, won the Ironman World Championship with the eighth fastest time in the 35-year history of the event. He did so in the Cloudracer. “I really wanted to get into these running shoes from the first time that I tried them on. I was always a good runner, but with On I can go faster and further without risking injuries – which I have been struggling with last year”, says Frederik Van Lierde. “For this win, everything had to come together, and On was an important part of it.”

From ISPO awarded as the best performance running shoe 2013, the Cloudracer keeps its promises. May it be in marathons, sprints or triathlons - On athletes reach new personal bests with the Cloudracer. With more than 70 winning podiums the On Cloudracer belongs to the most succesful competition running shoes. The Cloudracer deliveres a world-class performance in various running disciplines.

What runners say

Hard to beat this shoe

jonathan Rieth, Syracuse New York, I run 0 - 20km per week, I run primarily to train to race and compete

I LOVE this shoe, the construction material for the body is the best ON has, sad to see it go. The CloudFlash replaces this shoe and is better in most ways but the CloudRacer breathes much better and is a lot cooler, which was key when I was running in the hot Iraq summer.

Der leichteste Laufschuh den ich je hatte

Awsome Race Shoe

Matt Worthington, Rotherham, UK, I run over 40km per week, I run primarily to train to race and compete

I switched to these race shoes from a pair of Scott Race Rockets. After having a pair of Cloudsurfers, I wanted something lighter for racing in. As these were my first pair, I've also been doing most of my training in them, and while they are excellent for speed work, the soles are wearing out pretty fast. I'm doing around 45km a week in them training for a half marathon, as I wanted to make sure I was comfortable with them for the race. I've just done 230km total distance, and the outside edge "clouds" are pretty worn. The rest of the shoe is still in really good condition. Race is next Sunday, and hoping for a PB in them! Will replace with another pair once they are fully worn out.
